I now have the perfect excuse for not bothering to go into London on Christmas eve <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>
<p><em><strong>Greater Anglia Services, Monday 23rd &amp; Tuesday 24th December 2013.<br />
Last updated: 13:00<br />
Next update due: 21:00</strong><br />
On Monday 23 December the weather forecast indicates that a storm with winds of up to 70mph will affect our network from around 18:00 and throughout the night. Based on this forecast we have taken a decision to run trains at reduced speeds from 18:00 until the end of the day. These speed restrictions will limit the number of trains that we can run, particularly during the evening rush hour and customers who are able to do so are strongly advised to complete their journeys early. We will publish full details of the reduced evening rush hour service tomorrow.<br />
On Tuesday 24 December we do not expect to run any trains on any routes across our Network until 10:00. This is to allow us to run train at low speed along each line on our network in daylight in order to check for damage to overhead wires and/or any debris from the storm. This will ensure that we can safely run trains and we will update customers throughout Tuesday morning as lines reopen. Customers are advised not to travel until 10:00 and to check their line is open prior to setting out.</em>

If you re Scotlandish put on a long sleeve shirt. Happy Christmas or whatever religious fairytale we are drinking to and safe riding.

Doesn't make it feel very Christmassy <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_sad.gif" title=":(" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> so I'm still hoping for some in the next few days. </p>
<p>Local weather forecast (met) says sleet ... so there's a chance yet.

<p>50-80mph winds currently forecast for me (west wales) with low front after low front for the rest of the week. Basically.. windy with rain and sometimes very windy with sideways rain for the next week. No way will it snow.

He does heave a big sigh, though.<br />
WeatherPro, Meteogroup's app, is my go-to source for weather forecasts.

Utter tosh! </blockquote>The Express has been forecasting death, doom and destruction for weeks now. They get it from an outfit called 'Positive Weather Solutions', which is a guy called Johnathon Powell who is a known rogue and charlatan in meteorological circles.<br />
The Express is so economical with the truth that the Met Office has to put out press releases denying what they claim they said.<br />
Today's Express says <blockquote>BBC weatherman Michael Fish declared confidently: “It WILL be a White Christmas.”</blockquote> whereas what he actually said was <blockquote>On Christmas Day there will be wintry showers across Scotland.</blockquote>
